Christmas in Utah


Our first stop on our Christmas trip was to see the Walkenhorsts in snowy Utah. Zara enjoyed being read to by her grandparents and playing with her Aunt Kassie and Uncle Devan. We stopped by and saw Grandma and Grandpa Great and at first Zara was a little upset but then Grandma Great pulled out a dog that barks and walks and Zara loved it! She played with it the whole time and we just sat back and laughed because it was so cute.
 

Grandpa and Grandma Great learning how to use their new kindle fire. It was fun to watch Toni teach them how to use the touch screen.



Zara did really well with all of the Santas she met this year. We thought she might be scared to sit on Santa's lap but it turns out she was mostly just curious and spent the whole time staring at his face trying to figure him out




We went and saw the zoo lights one night and while we were waiting in the car for the zoo to open Zara discovered the cold windows and started giving them lots of kisses, she thought it was pretty cool.


 
On Christmas morning we opened our stockings and got lots of fun little things and fuzzy socks, even Zara got fuzzy baby socks! She loved them. She also received her first doll from Grandma and Grandpa and gave it lots of hugs and kisses right away.



I love how rosy Zara's little cheeks are, I miss them! And it's always funny to look back, I thought Zara had sooo much hair at the time but now that she really does have hair I realize that she didn't really have that much hair at Christmas, haha! Isn't she just so cute!



For fun one day we went to a bowling/putt putt golf place and had a really good time. The putt putt golf was indoor and had tons of cool sea life murals and black lights. It was pretty neat!

 

 We spent some time outside in the snow and Zara loved it! Dusty took her around on an inter tube and at first she looked hesitant but then she realized she liked it once it got going. She also loved riding the four wheeler around. It was so great to be outside in the snow, it was cold but so bright and the backdrop was beautiful, as always.














 
 We had such a wonderful time with everyone in Utah! 

Next up: Christmastime in Mexico. We ran into Collin in the Denver(?)airport while he was on his way to Utah, random!
